feat(javascript): minify JavaScript in one SourceProcessor run, with source maps and beautify - #22995
JavaScript now minifies the way CSS and HTML do: jsMinify runs one JavascriptSourceProcessor run that reads, mangles, compresses and prints the asset. The one pass is no longer behind a switch, and terser's tree, its compressor and passes are not used by jsMinify any more.
process(code, { mode: "minify", compress, mangle, … }) reads the source as minify reads it, and the node printer compresses as it prints.
Source maps: every printed node maps to where it starts in the source, and a name maps to its original spelling (names). PrintContext.anchorWithin takes the mappings for the text the next take writes.
mode: "beautify": each statement, class member and case prints on its own line, with spaces, as the CSS printer lays out its rules.
Fixes for output the one pass printed wrong:
a renamed import or export prints readFile as t, not t;
a name read where its only writer is dropped keeps its declaration;
a let read in its dead zone keeps its name;
a written Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY stays as written;
a print no longer reuses what the last print found.
jsMinify, compress: { passes: 2 }, before (main) and after:

Known gaps, which were byte checks in config cases and are now dropped until the one pass writes the same thing:
new (0,a.b)(…) → new a.b(…);
collapsing pure calls and values into await/yield;
inlining functions called once in a literal;
new RegExp(10n);
computed [NaN]/[null] keys;
unused private members;
{["__proto__"]:x} in patterns;
folding after a dead-zone read;
lets only closures write;
Object.keys of literals;
sequences into return;
every transform with mangle: false.
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
feat
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes, in test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js: source maps, beautify, and each of the fixes. The optimization/minify-* config cases keep every runtime check.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. jsMinify is the default only under experiments.futureDefaults. Options only terser's tree supported (wrap, enclose, nameCache, ie8, safari10, property mangling) now throw a clear error from jsMinify.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

Walkthrough
JavaScript minification now runs through SourceProcessor and the syntax-tree printer. The changes add tree preparation, compression and property mangling during printing, beautified output, and named source-map mappings. The parser, scope analysis, and minifier tests also change.
Changes: JavaScript minification
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Minifier entry and tree preparation lib/javascript/jsMinify.js, lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js, lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, .changeset/073-javascript-minify-source-processor.md
jsMinify now processes the input asset through SourceProcessor. The parser prepares a tree when compression or mangling is set, and the printer returns prepared print data for the writer.
Compression, mangling, and printer output lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, lib/javascript/side-effects.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js
The printer adds property mangling and beautified formatting. Compression and side-effect analysis now account for additional bindings, expressions, and runtime behavior. Unit tests cover these paths.
Legacy scope and name handling lib/javascript/ScopeAnalyzer.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js
SyntaxTree analysis adds legacy catch-parameter relocation and Safari 10 loop-scope handling. Alias substitution and function movement account for shadowed bindings.
Named source-map mappings lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, lib/util/SourceProcessor.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js
The printer records output placements and names for mappings. SourceProcessor stores the names and emits source-map name indexes.
Unit tests cover one-pass minification, source maps, beautification, scope handling, and jsMinify output. Several configuration tests remove generated-code assertions.

The test now asserts only the printed code. The removed assertions were printedFromTree equal to 0 and printedNodes equal to 1. They were the only checks that the one-pass path prints once. A second printer walk that produces the same code would still pass.
No changed test counts walks for the minifyOnePass path. The counters that exist in the test file come from the minifyCounted helper. lib/ has no walk counter. Add a count check only if the minifyCounted hook covers the SourceProcessor path. Otherwise, the one-pass walk count stays untested.

Apply the comparesConvert check to computed member reads.
When comparesConvert is true, memberHasSideEffects treats a computed key of unknown kind as effectful. The read branch of the MemberExpression case checks only hasSideEffects on the key, so it skips this check. With pure_conversions: false, function f(k) { (0)[k]; } can call k.toString(). The read branch then returns false for that statement, which lets the statement be removed.

jsMinify runs as cssMinify does: one JavascriptSourceProcessor run reads,
mangles, compresses and prints the asset. Given `compress` or `mangle`,
the processor reads the source as `minify` reads it and the node printer
compresses as it prints; the `onePass` switch and the re-printing passes
are gone. Imports and exports whose local name mangling renamed print the
other module's name beside it.

… name caches through terser's tree
A class's heritage and computed keys run in the function defining it, so
a call returning a class that reads that function's `new.target` stays a
call. What only terser's tree reads (`nameCache`, `wrap`, property
mangling and the rest) is minified through it rather than refused, and
the cache suite's snapshots print the one pass.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
…atterns in the one pass
The one pass reads what only terser's tree read before, so jsMinify no
longer falls back to it: `nameCache` seeds and is written back with the
names a print hands out, `wrap` and `enclose` read the source inside
their wrapper and map past it, and a global `keep_fnames` or
`keep_classnames` pattern is asked as a copy without `g`. A tree read or
printed as ESTree is refused.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
The SourceProcessor's one pass no longer refuses `mangle.properties`: the
names are chosen on the SyntaxTree as terser's `mangle_properties` chooses
them (reserved, builtins, `keep_quoted`, `regex`, `only_annotated`,
`undeclared`, `debug`, the cache) and the node printer prints them for
members, keys, patterns, `in` and `Object.defineProperty` strings.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
… less per print
test262 under future defaults showed the one pass dropping what runs or
throws: an unread `using` binding, which is disposed of; a comparison or
computed key converting an object under `pure_conversions: false`; a write
to a class's or a strict function expression's own name, or to a `let` in
its dead zone; a derived constructor's `this` before `super()`; and an
async generator's `return undefined`, which awaits. A direct `eval` in a
class or function a call returns keeps the call. A global read in a test no
longer crashes the folding.
The token table is sized to the tree once, the arrays by node are kept
from one print to the next, and the printer's node states widen once.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
… and enumerations shorter in the one pass
A computed key of a constant prints as the name it converts to, terser's
`computed_props`, but where that name means something else: a class's
`constructor`, a static `prototype`, an object's `__proto__` value. A
`RegExp` of a primitive or of nothing prints without `new`; `new` of a
sequence drops what runs nothing before a name or member it constructs.
A read in a `let`'s or `const`'s dead zone keeps the name, the reads after
still folding, and `Object.keys`, `values` and `entries` of a string or of
an array of what runs nothing print as the array they make.
